Floor Plan Design

Floor plan design was started before we bought the van. We chose the traditional European plan:

• front lounge with rotating front seats, dinette and second row two seats
• middle kitchen with good size fridge on passenger side and narrow storage and shower on the driver side
• rear bedroom 

The specifics of our design is that we plan to make the convertible bed - movable up and down :

• low position: a seat for three; 
• middle position – bed for two across the van; 
• top position – no load, just giving room for cargo space. 

The closest commercially available in the North America design is probably the Safary Condo XL21'   Flex, which also has the moving bed. The major differences are:

• their design is on the extended Promaster chassis, while ours is regular 159'WB
• their bed is for sleeping along the van, while ours is across
• we plan to have the large full height storage closet next to the shower, which they do not have  

After the van was bought, we did the mock-up design using cardboard to prove the concept:
